Giant Robot Hellboy is a totally absurd idea that actually makes perfect sense

Mike Mignola and Duncan Fegredo reunite for a completely wild Hellboy comic
www.gamesradar.com www.gamesradar.com

Hellboy creator Mike Mignola is teaming back up with longtime BPRD collaborator artist Duncan Fegredo for Giant Robot Hellboy - a three issue limited series coming from Dark Horse that is all about exactly what it says in the title.


In the limited series, which is rounded out by colorist Dave Stewart and artist Clem Robins, a literal giant robot version of Hellboy will take on a series of kaiju. Giant Robot Hellboy #1 features a main cover by Fegredo, and a variant by Mignola and Stewart. Subsequent issues will feature variants by Geof Darrow along with series colorist Dave Stewart, and Art Adams.

Think comics aren’t books? This graphic novel just won book of the year

There’s a reason graphic novels are the ‘most stolen books’ from libraries, according to author Tom Taylor. In a first for the Children’s Book Council of Australia awards, his has taken top prize.
www.smh.com.au www.smh.com.au

TBH, I think it would be better to have books and graphic novels in separate categories, but as to the claims in the article...

Taylor’s story revolves around the Lost Ones – it’s not all boys in Neverlanders – recruiting a number of homeless kids to come to Neverland to fight against a group of greedy, shortsighted adults who seem intent on destroying the world.

That's kinda true, but-

This is essentially a book about the climate crisis, but there’s a lot in there about family and issues with parents,” he says. “I’ve always used my writing to vent or as an outlet for outrage.”

Da fuq?

Parental issues are certainly a key thing in Neverlanders, but I never got any sense it was referring to climate change.

I dunno, something something death of the author something something.

Move over Harry Potter: Green and gold take over Book Week as students show Matildas love

The Australian women's football team inspired the nation with their history-making World Cup performance. Now, students are showing their pride for the Matildas at Book Week.

I'm all for dressing up at book week, but the Matildas? Really?

Also, I think I dressed up as Cairo Jim once way back in the day in primary school, though I wasn't allowed to carry a toy gun as part of it (which, to be fair, I don't think Jimmy ever carried a gun, but it's been decades since I read the books).

The terribleness of a progressive Bond

The latest Bond villain is Nigel Farage. Not literally, of course. But he was clearly a major inspiration for the chief antagonist in the most recent James Bond book, On His Majesty’s Secret Service. This master of international skulduggery is known as Athelstan; a former City trader with a...

There's some weird takes on Sherlock Holmes that are readable. But yeah, as a general rule, not going to be remotely the same, and probably shouldn't even try.
